Maricopa County in Arizona marked the summer solstice today, the longest day of the year. The county issued a public safety message advising residents to take precautions in the Arizona heat. Officials recommended staying indoors with air conditioning when possible, applying a minimum of SPF 30 sunscreen at least 30 minutes before going outside and reapplying as needed, and drinking water regularly before feeling thirsty. Additionally, they advised wearing lightweight, breathable clothing, not leaving children or pets in a parked car, and recognizing that fans alone are insufficient when temperatures exceed 90°F. The message also stressed knowing the signs of heat stroke and seeking medical help promptly, as well as checking on friends, neighbors, and seniors. More resources on summer safety were made available through a linked bio.
